It wouldn't view it as an extension as much as Ethan took immediate action
while the SC was simultaneously working on what to do about the situation.
So they were separate actions and the SC's action happened to be longer and
broader.

Marco was given a previous 3 month suspension on discuss.python.org (as
Marco himself pointed out on the email thread in question). Speaking for
myself, Marco was given a chance previously to take some time to think
about how he approached communicating and it didn't seem to be enough time.

I will also note that Marco publicly asked me to ban him for life in one of
his emails in the thread as well.

I am purposefully not replying to this as I don't want to spark a
conversation on this topic in this email thread.
